Beautiful Beginnings

It’s TRUE!

We have decided to adopt a baby!

We are overjoyed to share this news and walk this path with such faithful friends and family.  10 wonderful years of marriage, countless months trying to conceive and one miscarriage later…we are eager to welcome a baby into our lives through the beautiful means of adoption.

We are just starting out–planning mostly–gathering paperwork, budgeting, dreaming.  Join us on this adventure!

We have decided to go through an agency here in Colorado called Hopes Promise.  It is a private Christian adoption agency with really friendly and helpful staff, reasonable wait times and most importantly a huge passion for caring for children.

We will keep this blog updated with where we are at in the process and how we are doing.

I found this poem written by an adoptive mother and found it so beautiful.

Mother to Child

Conceived in my heart I earnestly prayed,
But never imagined you’d come so arrayed.
Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone,
Not under my heart, but oh, so deep in it sown.
I knew from the start since the moment we met,
When my eyes gazed upon you, destiny was set,
To enter but a short journey as mother and child,
With joy and sorrows, memories to be compiled,
A mosaic of beauty with many colors entwined,
The fabric so strong, with my Savior combined.
I love you sweet child, and in time you will see,
You’re much more than chosen, but precious to me,
For God planted this yearning in me long ago,
To bring Him forth fruit, that together we grow!
